I'm sure it was an honest mistake but it would seem the most pertinent part of the article has bizarally and carefully extricated itself when you copied and pasted. The sentence and link to 'Hottest January on record for nation'.

Let me show you...........

"It's been a very dry January, but despite all the talk about a "dome of heat", it wasn't actually that warm.

•Hottest January on record for nation (this bit was removed from your post! Strange.)

Melbourne has so far recorded just 8 millimetres of rain this month, 40 millimetres below the January average. That ranks this month among the driest 10 per cent of Januarys on record."


Anyway I've provided the mysterious missing link below. but thanks to you for highlighting this record breaking event otherwise I might not have heard about it.
